I've used the site a few times, their stuff is good quality and I'd definitely recommend it. I bought my grandad a Peugeot cap for his birthday and ordered a few of the "old" Santini jerseys including the Z enfants for myself from there, all hassle free. My only complaint is that some of the old sponsors are missing (due to them usually being replicas), but you trade that off with a better condition jersey than vintage ones usually are (and in a better material). There's also a french site that does similar: www.cycles-marcarini.com/en/index/I ordered from there for my grandad to go with the cap as the Marcarini Peugeot top is a lot more authentic to the one that was around in the Tom Simpson (his) era than the Prendas version.

I find cycling clothing a bit difficult. I feel like a bit of a fraud in pro-looking gear, so I am looking at more understated classic looking stuff. I can't possibly wear anything Rapha, for many reasons, but one of them has to be wearing a 'uniform' which costs more than my bike makes no sense at all. Anyway, I found these guys: www.torm.cc/index.htmlI think I will be ordering soon. Lots of red stuff to go with the Triban3.

I'm with Panda - plain, simple but visible. If I'm going to be riding round advertising Belgian washing powder, they should be paying me! Having said that I've always been slightly tempted by some of the novelty stuff at: www.foska.com/cycling-jerseys/road/

I spoke to the guy who owns Torm today, really nice guy, loads of advice, told me how to measure up to choose something from their site and also spoke about some of his club rides. Really decent of him. Also, fantastic to talk to someone who is actually involved in making the products, he talked about dyeing the new materials with new colours etc. Will be ordering Jersey's and arm warmers today! www.torm.cc/index.html

Did he say? The jerseys look good. I've had some merino tops that shrunk but that's probably down to me. The moths also seem to like them.

I didn't ask, but other sites I have seen some positive feedback, so I think that it will be fine. Apparently, the Sportswool (http://www.csiro.au/solutions/Sportswool) is on the inside and there is another material on the outside, so I expect that it is better than merino. Give them a call, it great to talk to people who are passionate about what they do. I have already decided to buy a red jersey, arm warmers and maybe one of the new yellow jerseys which they have on their twitter account.

It's simple and well laid out very professionally done. I find the products interesting too. T7 jersey sounds like my T7 Whitney. Will be doing some business with them. Wonder if you will be getting any commission panda?

Wonder if you will be getting any commission panda? I will have to ask them, but I don't think so. Perhaps we could ask for some discount for the forum? I get the feeling that this is a relatively small business selling high quality stuff at reasonable prices. The finishing on the web looks great, I will post a full review when I get the gear.
